Composer Pro-XL MDX2600 Compressor with De-esser

Bought this for my mic for streaming because I needed my vocals to stand out a bit, and running the audio fx through my DAW was not an option. Works perfectly, and sounds great with my TLM 103

Just like above a great quality piece yet well priced

I think that this is a great compressor and wonderfully made produce.

As a professional sound engineer, for years I looked down my nose at Behringer. Give me Midas or at least Soundcraft. But now that I'm no longer in the business and just doing this on my own and on a limited budget, I've taken another look at their equipment. I must say, I'm very impressed with the Composer Pro-XL. It has all the adjustments I need to give my mic that extra punch I was looking for. The sound is of good quality and doesn't seem to be degraded at all by the unit. I was so impressed with this, I ended up getting a USB audio interface and mic preamp from Behringer also and am very pleased with those as well. Very good quality for the price.

I'm not a very tech guy but I do record and another sound guy recommended it. After trying it out I noticed a difference in the sound quality and I usually don't notice these things. I couldn't explain why it works but it seemed to make the audio more clear and sound professional when I listen to recording

I liked everything about it.I use it to stream a live stream in stereo.

The rack mount effects sound professional when making a demo recording or band cd and it’s very affordable for these stereo effects for home recording!!!

I have used a lot of Behringer gear for the last 30 years, and have generally been very happy with it. I had been happy with this unit right up until it failed. It was fairly easy to use, sounded good, and functioned well. I was quite disappointed recently to discover that a problem I was having with my living room audio system ended up being a dead channel in this piece of gear. I thought I had gotten it far longer ago, but when I looked at my account today, I have had it a little over two years. Granted, it is not hugely expensive, but $160 dollars isn't cheap, either. I am going to do some more testing and see if the problem is something I can repair (probably not, it sounds like fried semiconductors to me), but it will likely end up going into electronic recycling. The two stars might have been three if it had lasted 4 or 5 years, but 2 years is ridiculous for something in this price range (although long enough to be out of warranty, of course). At this point I am not going to replace it, and if I was, I would probably go to a different brand. I am definitely disappointed it died so soon.

Llegó en excelente estado y a tiempo. Funciona excelente.

Bought gear to live-stream live interviews with phone-ins. First got a X1204USB mixer, and a NW-800 condenser Mic. Quickly realized that my noisy fridge in the adjacent kitchen made for a less-than-stellar recording environment which needed some horse medicine. I acquired a XM8500 dynamic Mic, the Mic2200 pre and MDX2600 gate/comp/de-ess unit. It took me about 10 minutes to adjust everything to absolute whisper quiet perfection. No DAW post-editing required: No hiss or background noise. My audio is squeaky clean. Notes: - My use and opinion is relevant only for spoken word. - Musicians may have different results and opinions about it. - My MDX2600 (and Mic2200 pre) are both on a Furman M-8x² power conditioner, and nothing else is plugged in there to avoid any ground loops or line noise. - To avoid picking EM/RF interference, I've cabled-up using XLR cables on all links. - You do need a preamp to use the MDX2600, and an XLR-to-computer interface. - For some mixers, not all, it might be possible to preamp on a bus, send to MDX2600 and return to another bus, but there are potential details and caveats which could destroy your gear. Don't do it if you don't know what your doing, specially if your running phantom power. - Don't use unbalanced cables/ports with this unit. My conclusion: I'm overjoyed at the results I've achieved with this thing. I thought my situation was a basket-case. Well the MDX2600 proved itself worthy of the job. I no longer need to process my audio in a DAW. It is now decent enough for live broadcasting. Even after acquiring a separate twin preamp (Mic2200) to run this unit, for the price of a single channel DBX286s, the Behringer combo yields me 2 channels with De-ess. So half the price per channel, and it gets the job done.
